Some motorists driving through the area have tried slowing down over the rocky road. Some swerve, and some do both. Others zoom right through.

No matter what the strategy, the potholes are a growing problem, especially in this booming part of Oklahoma City, which is home to the Chesapeake Energy Campus, Whole Foods Market, and a host of other businesses.

“It's very bad, it's not good, you know, especially being next to an oil company and stuff. They need to get that fixed,” said a disgruntled driver.

“The city is challenged with potholes and pothole repairs,” said Eric Wenger, director of public works for Oklahoma City.

“At over 620 square miles, there's actually over 8,000 lane miles in the city. It's simply just a big project for us to complete.”

Wenger said crews are out six days a week repairing the roads.

“We appreciate the public's patience as we work to fill those potholes,” he said.

In the meantime, he encouraged the public to help curb the problem.

“We rely on the driving public to help us call into that pothole hotline to make sure that we're getting out and making those repairs in a timely manner.”
